Villapiana Scalo located on the Ionian coast of Calabria and without a doubt a beautiful holiday destination, with its sandy beaches and very shallow sea waters…… Also a beautiful place for relaxing bike rides with several places in the surrounding area to visit…..

Typical route of the area that from Civita leads to Frascineto via singletracks that can be traveled by mountain bike, where you need to have some experience with the mountain bike... Mixed territory with rocks and large boulders that are truly characteristic and absolutely worth seeing...

Villapiana has two hamlets; Villapiana Scalo is one of them. It's a great place as many of the beaches are surrounded by nature. It's worth it!
